About Me

I’m Alison Smith! I’m a senior user experience and interface designer ready to advocate for users through research, prototyping, copy, branding, and usability testing! I’m passionate about finding what users are struggling with and creating innovative solutions.

When I’m not designing, I’m hanging outside with my precious doggie.
